People Operations Manager

We are a diverse team from around the world working together on a mission to make DuckDuckGo the world’s most trusted search engine, and we want your help!

Examples of projects you might work on include facilitating team building workshops remotely for the technical organization,and developing a sustainable plan to build relationships within the organization, including developing measurements for employee engagement.

We are a remote company, meaning our employees can work wherever they want around the world. We empower our team to be self-directed and self-motivated in their projects. If that seems awesome and you like the idea of our core values -- Build Trust, Question Assumptions, and Validate Direction -- you'll fit right in.

What you will do:

Support team members on People Operations issues or grievances as needed.

Consult with leaders in the organization to offer guidance.

Provide full-cycle recruiting support, mainly for technical roles.

Manage projects to help increase employee engagement within the technical organization.

What we are looking for:

Significant People Ops experience working in a technical organization or with technical teams

Ability to influence and persuade across leadership levels and functional areas

Proven success and interest in managing a recruiting and hiring process

Other things to know:

We are a small, remote team in different time zones and communicate with a variety of tools throughout the day. You should feel comfortable with the intricacies of this type of work situation.

Sometimes we meet up! You can expect to travel at least 2x a year: once for our all-hands meetup and another for a team retreat (each ~4-5 days)

We want to have a major impact on raising the standard of trust online. To do this we believe in a focused approach, with company-wide objectives, and with each team member working on a single top priority at a time.

Our work philosophy is built upon empowered project management. All team members have opportunities to lead projects.

All projects are run transparently, and we encourage everyone to participate in areas of interest throughout the company. Anyone and everyone can (and should) ask questions and offer feedback around the product and internal projects.
